Broken or non/misconfigured?

That'd mean that the first press wouldn't act until a timeout. In this particular case, it'd mean that CLIP_NEW/ADD would cease to be immediate and users would always have to wait a significant amount of time for the action to occur.

That'd take your attention away from the on-screen text.
